Swami Mukundananda
Why must I have faith before I surrender to God?
Faith is the first step of surrender
God says that if you surrender to him, he will give divine love, knowledge and bliss, but we ask for his grace first. The first step is faith from your side.
God says: look, I'll give you divine love, divine knowledge and divine bliss, you surrender yourself to me. We people say no, first you give me divine love.
